Popped into the City on Wednesday to meet Andy from retrocomputers.eu – a veritable hub of all things retro micro computer.
Andy is a volunteer for the “The Centre for Computing History” in Haverhill, Suffolk http://www.computinghistory.org.uk and a jolly nice chap. He was recently at the Gadget Show in Birmingham displaying some rather fabulous SD/Flash add ons for various retro systems of which I am very jealous!
The Centre for Computing History also provides background retro computer bits and bobs for the excellent Channel 4 Comedy “The IT Crowd” Andy was off to watch a recording in Pinewood later in the week – so have to keep our eyes peeled for some rare items in Series 4. Hurrah!
Also, during a ZX Sinclair Spectrum part of the conversation Andy told me about the rarity of the 16K “Issue 1″ Speccy’s. Intrigued, I checked my boxed 16K when I got home and turns out that I actually own one! Hoopla! Thanks Andy! —-> See the “Issue 1 Spectrum” Page
Obviously of course we didn’t forget the most important part of meeting up and decided on a Fire of London-esque APOTSPOAB
